am gratified to notice that you
are to have an "Ensilage Number"
for 1 believe there is no one factor
of farm economy of more Importance
than this; and the dairyman without
a silo to preserve his fodder, is labor
ing to great disadvantage. The
old maxim to make hay while the
sun shines was safe one to follow
but the prudent housekeeper now
prefers to preserve her fruit in self
sealing cans rather than to dry it in
the sun, as her mother did thirty
years ago. That good ensilage is a
food for all farm animals is a well
established fact, and the economy of
this kind of fodder needs no further
demonstration; because to those who
have used it the fact has been made
plain that nearly or quite double the
amount of stock can be kept on the
farm by this new system of feeding.
| shall make no attempt to discuss
the reasons why this is so, but tell
HOW TO BUILD sILo.
If the structure is to be detached
from the barn, make low founda-
tion wall, just high enough to pre-
vearany surface water ever coming
in contact with the ensllage. Fill

extra foot Of paper is pressed up againts
the silo and held there by the sawdust
or other covering used. When wanted,
uncover one pit taking off all covering
and feeding from the top, keeping it
level.
PRECAUTIONS.
The temperature in the silo never
gets below 500, so there is no danger
from freezing. Never put wet corn
(or anything else) wet from rain into
the slo, as it will cause mold. And
do not put dry stalks or well-cured
forage of any kind into the silo with
green, for il will mold and spoil.
have tried it and know If the cover
on the ensilage in the silo does not lay
fat on and settle even with it, air will
be admitted and waste will take
place, just in proportion to the amount
Of air admitted.
CROPS FOR ENsILAGE.
Glover, red medium, and millet
make good ensilage-better than corn
and need not be cut, only when put.
ting them into the silo. Care should
be taken to cut after the dew is off
and let the loader follow close after
the mower. See to it also that the
sides and corners are kept we'll down,
so it will settle even. The advantage
Of corn is its greater quantity per acre.
FEED TO ALL ANIMALS.

spring, summer and fall. l have fed
to cows, steers, young cattle, hogs and
horses, and all eat it with avidity and

soon think Of summering cattle with
out grass as wintering without ensi-
lage To get the best result, corn en-
silage wants to be fed with more nj
trogenous food, as it is deficient in nj
trogen. Wheat bran, oil meal (old or
new process), cotton n-seed meal. malt
sprouts and oats furnish the nitrogen
nee essary to complete the ration for a
milch COW or growing and fattening
animal.
THE PROFIT OF ENsILAGE.
In Wisconsin it takes the hay from
two acres Of land to winter a COW this
average taken from Census Report),
and think an acre of average Wis.
consin soil will raise corn to winter
three COWS on ensilage, and do it as
we'll as the hay from the average two
acres. These figures look large, and
may not be mathematically correct,
but are approximately true. We esti-
mate our winter at six months feeding
time,-this is my experience, no the
ory.
THE EFFECT ON MILK.
The effect on the milk product Is
good in every particular The quality
is all that can be desired for milk, for
cream, for butter and cheese, producing
all of fine flavor; and as for quantity,
the flow is equal to that of grazing
time, if warm stables are furnished to
feed in and, warm water for the
COWS to drink. In short, with good
sweet ensilage and a proper grain ra-
tion, milk can be produced as cheaply,
if not cheaper, in winter than on pas.
ture grass with the same grain ration
in summer. Dry COWS and young
stock, on full feed of ensilage, with
warm stables and warm water to
drink, took ON flesh as readily
in winter as they did while on
good pasture in the fall and summer
season. And from my experience l
can not see why ensilage is not soon
to become great factor in beet-pro-
duction, wool-growing and horse-rais-

out dissenting voice on this matter.
Judge Deckman dissented from the lat
ter proposition Of the opinion, which
was that IL made no difference whether
such abuse of its powers as common
carrier occurs in domestic or In an in
terstate transaction. Those who are in
terested in this matter can chew the cud
of reflection on this decision. Should
the case go up to the supreme court OF
the United States and the decision above
rendered be there confirmed, 1t may be
the beginning of the end OF some OF the
Determinations by common carriers, so
loudly complained Of by shippers in GER
tain locations.

NOT AGREED.

The war among the democratic Jour-
nails of Texas over the democracy of pro-
hibition and anti-prOhlbition, continues.
The attempt to read certain lifelong
members Of the party out of its ranks be-
cause they were at the Dallas cOnven-
tiOn and took prominent part in its de-
alterations. is justly resented in many
quarters. The fact that prominent re-
publicans took a strong interest in that
Dallas convention is resented by certain
prohibttiOnists, who make that fact q
basis for the charge that in attending
that convention, such men as Barney
Gibbs, Judge Hancock, General Clark,
r. Q. Mills, Judge Alexander, etc, etc,
were guilty OF treachery to the demo-
cratic party of Texas. Such criminal
tions and reCrimina tiOns do no good to
democracy, and only prove that the pro-
hibitionists are determined to carry
their pOint in Texas Irrespective of all
consequences to the party. The anti
prOhibitiODists of Texas have been put
upon the defensive by the acts
Of the prOhbitiOnists. 1t will
be time enough to settle the
question Of democracy In its relations to
prohibition next year. This year the
question to be settled is the relation of
the question of prohibition to the citi-
Zen of Texas. The LIGHT Is intensely in
terested in seeing that question settled
next August in favor OF nti-prOhiDitiOn
principles and enactments. because it
believes that prohibition is wrong in
principle, un-American in its spirit and
will prove decidedly perniCiOus in prac-
tice. 1t is hardly the province of the
LIGHT to give advice to democrats, but
in this instance the LIGHT will be suf-
fici,Dtly patriotic and msgnaDimouF to
say disinterestedly TO the democracy of
Texas; your only hope of maintaining
your supremacy in this state as a politl-
cal party, lies In your showing under
this proposed amendment so deeply. by
your votes on the 4th day of August,
that it will not get its head above the
surface for at least another decade. By
doing this you save democracy in Texas,
perhaps. If you do not do this, demo-
cracy is downed without any perhaps.

AN OHIO DECISION,

The supreme court OF Ohio has recent
ly gone for monopoly in way that
is neither childlike nor bland. The de-
cisiOn is interesting as well az import
ant, particularly at this junoture, when
interstate complications are the all alb
sorbing theme in freighting circles.
The state Of Ohio feeling that Injustice
was done its citizens through the dis
examinations and exRctiOns of the Stand
ard Oil company, and its agents. en-
tered suit through the attorney general
Of the state against the Cincinnati, New
Orleans and Texas Pacific railway com.
pany, in quo warranto proceedings, for
forfeiture OF character; ether companies
being also included. The charge was
conspiracy, in connection with the
Standard Oil company and its agencies,
to build up that monopoly and crush out
its rivals by certain unlawful discrimin-
atoms and unlawful acts, which include
exorbitant rates, changing rates with
out due notice, discriminating against
other shippers and in favor of stand
ard Oil, and other acts of similar char
acter, in violation of the rights
of shippers under the laws gov
erning common carriers. The petitions
were filed by the attorney general under
complaint. The railroad company de-
INJURED on the ground that the facts al
legged did not constitute an abuse of the
franchise conferred on these CORPORA
tions, and if it did the quo warranto
proceedings TO GUST them Of their fran
chises and deprive them of their corpo-
rate existence was not the proper reme-
dy. The supreme court oyerruled the
demurrer, thus settling the fact that
such abuses, as complained of in Ohio.
may work the forfeiture Of franchise
and deprive a corporation of its very ex-
istence and power to do mischief, when
Il violates the law Of its creation and
ceases TO fulil the design and purpose Of
It's organization as q common carrier for

This is Financiering.

1t is reported upon good authority
that poor workman quilted work on
the Arkansas Pass construction corps and
was paid off with a time Cheque for
about $50. Needing money badly he
made his way to the city for the purpose
of disGOunting the oheque, and arriving
here he got il endorsed by Chief of Coz
struction Nelson. Then he sought a
banker to secure the cash. Usually
such cheques are discounted atten cents
on the dollar, which is liberal inter- St.
but the good banker whom he saw, de-
manded ten dollars discount and it was
that or no money. The poor man paid
it in order to secure the money, but
nevertheless he is under the opinion
that he has been imposed upon.

A Plucky Woman.


Special to the Times Democrat.
CHATTANOOGA, May Mrs. Susan
Sullivan, of Pierce, Mo-, has probably
accomplished a pedestrian feat which
has no parallel. Two years ago the Sulll-
van family moved 10 Missouri. Some
time ago Mr.. Sullivan died, leaving his
family positively destitute. Mrs. Sulli-
van wanted to return to her former
home, and having no money, started to
walk the entire distance with her five
children, the oldest being sixteen years
of age. She carried babe year old all
the way, and at times would carry the
next youngest child, which was sick.
She had been on the road for four
months, and suffered greatly from cold
and hunger. The woman was too proud
to ask for aid from any city, and SRays
she had rather starve than beg.
